"I just saw "The Dark Knight Rises" and
realized that THE 69 EYES is like Batman: we always rise and return - our only
mission being to save Gotham
City
- Jyrki69
Some 22 years later after forming, in the world without THE
RAMONES or TYPE O
NEGATIVE, THE 69 EYES release their 10th studio album. To
celebrate their long existence, the band has decided to name the album as Roman
tenth, "X". It also has ten songs. In the world where albums
mattered, the 10th album of THE ROLLING STONES was "Exile on Main St ." And
indeed "X" is also a turning point for THE 69 EYES. It clearly starts
something new. Once again it sounds completely fresh and ambitious. It's more
melodic than its predecessor, Hollywood-made glam metallic "Back In
Blood". It's also the most catchy and hooky goth 'n' roll you have ever
heard - no wonder since the album's made under the supervision of the Swedish pop
orientated production team called On The Verge. The team of Pat Phoenix and
Joakim Övrenius has been co-writing with THE 69 EYES before; songs like
"Never Say Die" and "Perfect Skin" have been written with
them, but it was until now that the Helsinki Vampires felt it was the right
time to move their coffins to Stockholm and record the entire album there.
"This is our "Made in Sweden " album. We've
considered Stockholm
as one of our home towns really for a long, so it was about the time! It was
also the time to bring back the more melodic side of ours, so with On The Verge
guys that was perfect too. Lyric wise I thought to get also more personal since
I had the chance to exploit my classic "My Babe Left Me" situation,
so that's where the real melancholy comes from this time," says the
singer, Jyrki69. The 10th 69 EYES album was recorded in Stockholm
and Helsinki
during the spring of 2012. It was produced by Swedish team On The Verge and
mixed by Stefan Boman (KENT, THE HELLACOPTERS, BACKYARD BABIES). It takes THE 69
EYES' goth 'n' roll sound back to their highlights decade ago of their albums
like "Blessed Be" and "Paris Kills", yet rising the singer
Jyrki's voice as the main statement of the record. The man in black is back.
THE 69 EYES rise. Again.
Not being very familiar with The 69 Eyes I wasn’t sure what
to expect. At first I wasn’t a fan of the vocals and it took me half the song
for the vocals to grow on me, Jyrki’s vocals are great for this style. The
first track, “Love Runs Away,” is a really heavy but catchy gothic style track.
“Tonight,” the next track, is pretty mellow. Not much to really say about it,
the vocals are really the main focus as it was stated in the information above.
The other members really didn’t get much of a spotlight on this one. The intro
build up to start off “Black” was pretty cool. The guitars on this were great
and the bass line a little more was short but awesome. It was probably one of
my favourites on this album.
“If You Love Me The Morning After” was really relaxing with
the duo of keyboard and lead guitar. This is another great track for vocals, as
well as another favourite. Bringing a great mix of soft guitar bits and heavier bits is the next
track, “Red.’ Again the vocals really shine through the most, so there isn’t
much else to say really. “I Love The Darkness In You” is most likely my
favourite. I really like the leads and keyboard on it and it’s a very catchy
track. Even the bass has some notable bits and it is finally a track that has equal
notability between members. Jyrki’s vocals are the best on the album on this
track.
I got a very southern vibe from the guitars on the next
track, “Borderline.” Something about the southern and gothic combination is
really enjoyable. There is also a great solo lead bit a little more than half
way through. The intro of “I'm Ready” is a little weird. The track is really
old school glam in its style. The solo is really great as well and I’m not sure
who does the female vocals on this. “I Know What You Did Last Summer” bring mellow
guitars, although they maintain their heavy feel. There isn’t much really to
say about this track but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad track. Ending the album
on a good note is “When A Love Comes To An End.” The guitars are nice and
relaxing and the vocals follow suit. It was a nice mellow way to finish off the
album.
Not knowing what to expect, on my first listen I really
wasn’t a fan since I’m not fond of the genre. After only listening to the first
minute, I stopped listening. Most likely because I wasn’t in the mood to review
and I regret doing so. The second listen through Jyrki’s vocals grew on me and
I enjoyed the album. I kind of wish the other members had more spotlight time,
but it may just be this album that is like that. This is a great album if you
enjoy gothic style heavy metal. I will definitely listen to this album, but I
think I’ll have to be in the right mood to do so.
